Me: Free Pascal, I'd like a dictionary class, please!
Free Pascal: Certainly - just add Generics.Collections!
Me: *adds Generics.Collections to uses*
FPC compiler: *takes 5 times longer*
Compiled file: *doubles in size*
Me: Uh... I haven't even written any extra code yet!
Option 1: Accept massive binaries.
Option 2: Rip out the parts I need from the Free Pascal libraries.
Option 3: Reimplement the bits I need from scratch. In which case I might as well have written it in C[++] from the start.
